Thanks!
And there's no shame in owning a BB1. Just lots of vibration and leg cramp from the footpeg position!

Its going to be a very interesting 4 potter that'll fit in a frame 12" wide
I'm looking at several options including an SV650, CR500 stroker or a 350 YPVS.
Something with about 70-80 BHP would be more than plenty for it's size.
So far the SV is in the lead but the CR is the easiest. The underslung petrol tank and the right hand chain drive are the main problems. |

12" wide frame.......4 pots....... The CBX managed it with 6 pots 
Right hand chain=turn rear wheel round
Well if you really think a 4 pot is too wide......that only really leaves a V4 |

Sweet, unusual colour for a Bimota
Yep, point taken, footpegs look awfully close to the seat |
